| |
I'm trying to defer some processing to a later point. I'm in a softirq, so in_interrupt() returns true. I need to schedule some work for later, in process context. I have read in the O'Reilly linux device drivers book that tasklets always run in interrupt time. Also, I guess the only task_queue that is in process context is the scheduler task queue. I've seen in a few places that task queues are on their way out and tasklets are being used instead. Is this completely true? Should I consider task queues as a deprecated method of deferred processing?` What other deferred processing methods can I use that will run in process context?
Thanks, Josh
